My husband and me are going through annulment now. And I have a question regarding removing his name from my passport.

Is annulment decree issued by court fully sufficient to submit at passport office (Secunderabad, Telangana, India) to remove spouse name (my husband name) from my passport? When I have inquired this with few agents and lawyers, many/all of them seem to be not fully aware of marriage annulment (null and void) and emphasized that spouse name will only be removed with a divorce decree (not annulment) or death of spouse.

As we are in first year of our marriage, court has advised us to go through annulment and after annulment has been passed by court, both of us will go back to 'Single" marital status. Our marriage will be null and void after we receive Annulment decree/certificate from court.

As divorce is not applicable and our marriage will be annulled completely, I would like to know if this decree/certificate issued by court is sufficient or not?
